The Hidden Science Behind Brain-Computer Interfaces — With Sally Adee


Listen Later

Sally Adee is the author of We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Body's Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds. Adee joins Big Technology Podcast to pull back the curtain on the body’s hidden wiring and brain-computer interfaces. We dig into how electricity drives every thought and twitch, why Neuralink’s first patient blew our minds, and what it will take to keep implants working long after the hype cycle fades. Tune in for a tour of limb-regrowing tadpoles, cancer cells that short-circuit, and the uncomfortable ethics of pleasure buttons and startup bankruptcies. We also tackle the hard numbers—electrode counts, word-per-minute Hit play and get current.
